Hawaii Pacific
rallies to beat Chaminade

Nina McClinton put down 17 kills and Lei Kaisa added 11 as Hawaii Pacific rallied to defeat Chaminade, 9-15, 15-8, 15-11, 15-8, in a Hawaii Intercollegiate Athletic Conference women's volleyball match last night at McCabe Gym.

The Sea Warriors, ranked ninth in the NAIA, improved to 16-3. Chaminade, an NCAA Division II team, fell to 11-6.

Danielle Robins led the Silverswords with 10 kills. Chaminade was without its leading hitter, sophomore Hinano Warfield, who has a knee injury.

The teams meet again at 7:30 tonight at McCabe Gym. The Silverswords, unbeaten in the Pacific West Conference, then leave for an 11-day, six-match conference road trip.



HYDROFEST WEEKEND

Dave Villwock, driving the PICO American Dream, will be going for a record seventh victory in one season in this weekend's JN Automotive Hydrofest.

Villwock, who is the National High Points list leader, is among the contenders for the $150,000 prize purse. Others are Mark Tate, in Smokin' Joe's, and Mark Evans, piloting Miss Budweiser.

The event, held at Pearl Harbor, is free to the public, with free rides to Ford Island. The activities are from 9 a.m. to 5:30 Saturday and Sunday, with ferry service beginning at 7.

The championship race is scheduled for 4:10 p.m. on Sunday.

There will be much more than racing: volleyball, musical entertainment, carnival rides, food and skydiving exhibitions.

Also, the Hawaii Association of United States Amateur Boxing will present a 17-bout card tomorrow starting at noon in the outdoor ring on Ford Island.
